Well it’s the “Weekend Eve” and I couldn’t be happier about it! We don’t have a whole lot going on this weekend too and that makes me even happier. Yay! I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween. We had a lot of fun. My three oldest kids went to various parties or hung out with friends and Kev and I took our three little ones (+ the doggie!) out Trick-or-Treating. We had a ball! We live in a quiet cul-de-sac and don’t get too many Trick-or-Treaters at our house, so we just leave a bowl of candy on the Continue Reading…
Healthy Travel Food, a Healthy Crock-Pot Dinner and my Deep Thoughts
Hey! Well I have a whole bunch of random things to share. First off, I was having issues with my blog this morning! It wouldn’t let me upload pictures or update any plugins. It was driving me crazy and making me very worried. Computer technical issues stress me out because I always feel so helpless….and dumb. 😉 BUT, I just have to give a HUGE shout out to my web host, Bluehost. Folks, I loooooove them! They’ve hosted my blog the past 3-4 years and have fixed so many issues for me. My old host was terrible and never helped Continue Reading…
Seeing some Decent Results + Lots of Yummy, Healthy Food!
Well, I’m still going strong with my “Healthy Challenge!” I’m not suffering, not complaining, not feeling deprived, not counting down the days….on the contrary; I’m loving it, feel so strong, am finally seeing some results, have no plans to quit and could actually see myself sticking with it indefinitely (with the addition of the occasional treat, of course!) One of the many, many, many reasons I love challenging myself like this is that I develop new habits, cut out a bunch of bad habits, develop willpower I didn’t know I had and see great results! I’ve been feeling really good, have Continue Reading…
Staying Away from Sugar + a Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Energy Ball recipe!
Hey! Well, I’ve been stickin’ to my “Healthy Plan” for about a month now. Woot! I’m so glad I’m doing it and I know I’ll see it through to the end! I’m 4 weeks down with 7 1/2 weeks left to go! I still haven’t lost much weight and it’s quite discouraging. My body just feels a little “off” lately and I know I just have to be patient. That’s why I’m so glad I’m doing this healthy plan until Thanksgiving. I’ve learned that sometimes my body can just be jacked, hormonal or both and it really helps to stick Continue Reading…
Deep Thoughts, Weight Loss Woes, Def Leppard and Cherished Friends
Hey hey hey! Well I’m about 2 1/2 weeks into my little healthy challenge that I set up for myself. I have to say that I’m loving it, I’m so glad I’m doing it, I feel good, BUT dang it, I haven’t seen a whole lotta results so far. It’s a’ight though because I know changes don’t happen overnight (or in 2 1/2 weeks!), I know it takes time, I know it takes loads of patience and I know I’m taking good care of my body in the meantime. I feel like I’ve been gaining muscle and getting stronger, but Continue Reading…
My New Healthy Plan + Some Tips that Help Me Stay Motivated
Well life is slowly, but surely calming down and I couldn’t be happier about it. I’m starting to actually chip away at my giant to-do list. Woo hoo! I love getting my life in order and I absolutely LOVE cleaning, organizing and de-junking. It is exhilarating to me! Yes, I’m weird. I also started my new “healthy plan” that I talked about in my last post. Can I just say that it feels so dang awesome to be disciplined and on track again!! Yes, I definitely miss my crappy food indulgences, but seriously, it is so much more rewarding to Continue Reading…
